F1 2009 is a video game based on the 2009 season of the Formula One motor racing series. It was released on the Wii and PlayStation Portable in November 2009 for North America, PAL region and the United Kingdom. The game was also released on iOS on 14 December. The PlayStation Portable version was also available as a download from the PlayStation Store from 16 November.
This is the first game in Codemasters' F1 video game series upon acquiring the licensing rights for Formula One video games in 2008, with all subsequent sequels based on further F1 seasons released annually on non-Nintendo consoles and the PC. It eventually became the only F1 game to be available on the Wii and one of only three F1 games that Codemasters released for a Nintendo console, with the other two being the spin-off, F1 Race Stars, for the Wii U, and F1 2011, for the Nintendo 3DS.
